Road Trip

Yong Peng > Batu Pahat > Muar. 

It was an impromptu one, planned just a day before since we didn't have any classes on Wednesday. 9 of us altogether went on a food hunt road trip which left me going home with an over-bloated stomach :/  We were first treated at Hawe's uncle restaurant at Yong Peng. We further continued our journey to Batu Pahat to have fish head curry, chicken soup (my favourite) and pork soup. Didn't take any pictures of the dishes at the two places (regretful) but it was all damn good. One word- scrumptious.

We visited Tokong Cina at Batu Pahat which is situated beside the sea.

And they have this huge fishes in the pond (I forgot what are they called). They are much bigger in real life, definitely more than 100cm in length. Apparently if you touch the fish with your hands, you will be blessed with good luck.

KM, Stanley, Guo Zhen and Danny,


Hawe.

It rained in the evening. Thank god it was only drizzling when we reached there.

After visiting the temple, we had steamboat for our dinner. The steamboat is fairly good but it was the side dishes which is the highlight of that place. Unfortunately we were too busy eating that I didn't get to take any pictures of the side dishes :/

 Our total bill cost to RM 138 which is quite reasonable for 9 people.

Just as we thought this will be our last meal for the day, Hawe's dad called to meet him up at his friend's restaurant in Muar. And this will just mean one thing; more food! We were pretty much bloated by our heavy dinner but since the purpose of this trip is to well, eat, we went ahead anyway. We were treated generously with many dishes and it was all really good, I just wished I had taken pictures of 'em food! Sigh.

It was a good trip, not just because of the good food but the good company :) I've always love spontaneous plan and the fact that this is the final year makes it more memorable.
